In 2004, after several years of covering the Spurs, he started Project Spurs, a Spurs team fansite as an outlet to provide content to Spurs fans, while continuing to write for himself and learning the ins and outs of online publishing and web design. He has since built a writing team and started a popular weekly Spurs podcast called the Spurscast.

Spurs season review: Spectacular season but will outcome in playoffs change?

The regular season isn’t over for the San Antonio Spurs (49-16), as they still have one game remaining tonight in Golden State. If the Spurs win, they’ll end the season having being the only team in the NBA this season to have three double-digit winning streaks.

To have three double-digit winning streaks in one season, and lose less than two games in a row is something no short of amazing. How did this team once again win their conference after failing in such a poor outcome last season, while achieving even more success in a much more compressed, shortened season?

The Spurs had some new faces put onto the team at the beginning of the season; they welcomed back a healthy Manu Ginobili, while also adding rookie Kawhi Leonard and veteran T.J. Ford. Ginobili would go out on January 2nd in Minnesota, where he was sidelined for a good chunk of the season. Danny Green would do what James Anderson was supposed to do as the relief shooting guard for Ginobili, while Gary Neal also found his way back into the Spurs’ rotation by showing the ability to play point guard, while also showcasing even more offensive fire power in his arsenal.
